  • My Iphone 5 is not showing up in my devices on Itunes and there is no option to sync.

    My Iphone 5 does not show up in devices when I plug into my computer. No devices show up. I was getting a small box that showed the Iphone and wanted me to open it to view the files, which basically shows how much space is left. I tried draggin a playlist into this and it has a circle with a line in it and doesn't work.  I expected to plug in and have it sync but no sync message appears and the phone is not being recognized in itunes.  I have already confirmed that I have apple mobile support.

  • IPhone 5 does not show up as a device in iTunes

    My new iPhone was showing up in iTunes but in the last few days it is no longer show up in devices.  It does show up in Computer (running Vista) as a device attached via USB.  I've used the troubleshooting information provided by Apple but it is still not being recognized.  The auto play feature starts when connected almost as if it is being recognized as a camera but it never shows up in iTunes.  I've run the iTunes diagnostic and it says no device is connected.  This is very frustrating so any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    When you say you have used troubleshooting provided by Apple, have you tried to remove and reinstall iTunes? Do so by following this support document to the letter http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923. Then connect the phone, it should be recognized by Windows, install the necessary drivers and work. The phone will only activate auto play when there are pictures in the camera roll, that is why it appears like a digital camera.

  • My iphone 4 does not show up as a device on itunes

    I have the latest itunes and have followed all apple's troubleshooting steps, maybe its another problem, please help.

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

  • When I open iTunes my iPhone 4S will not show up as a device.

    When I open iTunes my iPhone 4S will not show up as a device. I have tried the advice provided by Apple. I have gone through the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant. That gave no solutions. I have tried the other solutions offered by Apple. I think that I have possibly identified the problem. As far as I know the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not installed on my computer. I have tried to install it but when I do I receive an error message. I repeat the entire error message in the following paragraph. The message appears in a dialogue box with the name: "Update Driver Software - iPhone".
    "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device. Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. Apple Mobile Device USB Driver. Access is denied. If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software."
    I cannot find a solution to this problem on Apple's website. How can I get this driver installed?

    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.

    Right-click the Apple Mobile Device entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver Software. 
    Select "Browse my computer for driver software."
    Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer."
    Click the Have Disk button. Note: If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and then click next. The Have Disk button should then appear.
    Click the Browse button and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
    Double-click the "usbaapl" file. (This file will be called "usbaapl64" if you have a 64-bit version of Windows. If you don't see "usbaapl64" here, or if there is no Drivers folder, look in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers. instead).
    Click Open in the Have Disk window. Then, click Next and then Click Finish. Windows will install the driver.
